Despite my previous statement regarding "perfect vs. good", I just couldn't live with that Modern Desert Sand paint which looked more like Titebond II mixed with K9P. So I masked it again and repainted with Testor's Dark Tan flat enamel. (Shrock's original design called simply for "Tan") I'll post some progress pictures when the wind stops blowing.
Has anyone ever actually flown one of these beauties? I am technologically challenged and only have CP Technologies CP-1 program which really doesn't address weird fin configurations like this. The best I can do is find the fully loaded center of gravity with the heaviest motor I plan on using (E9 -something) and then do a swing test. Without additional nose weight the CG falls within the fin area which will make attaching the string a challenge.
Anyone have any ideas or prior experience with this.
